About

I’m a huge Hard Rock/Heavy Metal fan with an addiction to buying CDs, DVDs, and other paraphernalia. This forum will discuss my growing collection, Metal memories, past/current events in the scene, and my opinions on various albums.

Great blog mate and like you I share the addiction for good hard rock music! Unlike you however its gotta be vinyl for me! I’ve really enjoyed reading the stuff here and have even ordered a copy of the Predator album… we appear to have a very similar taste in music so I look forward to hearing it!!!!

I was browing through your site and I had a good time reading some stuff that you wrote.
I am also a collector from Brazil and it all began with Kiss in 1983, when they first played here.
I wonder if you can indicate me some webshops and places that I can shop through the web after rock and roll and heavy stuff.
Right now I am trying to finish my Hammerfall collection on cassetes tapes.
Thanks a lot!

Omar – Thanks for the suggestions. I hope to have more memory posts in the future. I also want to update this page to give you all a better idea of who I am but that will take some time and I don’t have any extra right now, LOL!

I don’t know if you have it but I’ve got an original European Roadrunner cd release of “Dr. Mastermind – s/t” (RR 9605-2) that I’d be willing to sell if you’re interested. Let me know. I know this cd is a difficult cd to locate these days because I too used to be big into collecting …before I lost my entire cd collection to a house fire. :o( :o)

Hey Steve…great site, have bookmarked you and look forward to visiting often. I am an old school metal head (44 yrs old) my first concert was
KISS opener was Uriah Heap (75-76) The stage was made for the DESTROYER album. It looked like a castle and fog machines ran almost every other song. My best friends Dad took us and he had an expensive camera with a telaphoto lens. He took pictures down front and made copies for both of us. 90% of the pictures were just blurs cause he had just bought the lens but the two best shots were close ups of Gene spitting blood and he caught him blowing fire dead on. His face is orange from the fireball being so close and the flame is backed by the KISS sign lit up.Its amazing, since he was a grown man with this expensive camera ushers let him roam anywhere he felt like not like today where you show your ticket every 15 ft. Maybe a side bar of peoples favorite concert and why would be cool. This site is “Worth the Deuce”

Sorry, I am one who thinks marriage comes first, then kids. Using the same-sex marriage issue seems a pretty poor excuse; it woldun’t prevent any guests from enjoying THEIR day and if they really wanted to they could have had a destination wedding to a state that does permit gay marriage.

Coming over from SITS. I think it is so hard to know what to do, so like with anything you follow your gut and do the best that you can and it is better than average…at least that is what a good girlfriend told me once! ;) Words to live by! Great post, I loved it!

Just searching the web tonight and I came across your site, very nice job Steve! I’ve been a metalhead since in 83′ my first concert was KISS in 86′ with WASP opening 5th row. If you or anyone else would like to check out my website here’s a link! Enjoy!

Hey Steve,
I’m a local near you and have the same musical interests. Big KISS fan – 37 and still into the music scene. I just picked up Kissology V3 and it’s awesome!!! One of the greatest DVD releases in the music biz! I also picked up Ratt – The Atlantic Years and Queensryche’s Take Cover cd.
I keep reading on thei Endever band so I’m looking into them…KEEP ROCKING and great site!!! Where do you score your music from???

Hey Steve,
Just googling around & saw that you included my band Icarus Witch in your top releases for 2007! What a cool honor & judging from your top 10 favorite bands on this page, I can tell you really get where we’re coming from. I’m often asked in interviews what my favorite album of all time is & when I say Alcatrazz – No Parole From Rock ‘N’ Roll…well, you can sense a palpable air of surprise on the other line! haha. I’ll post your list on our myspace.com/icaruswitch page. Cheers!

Hey Steve. Really cool site. Just stumbled upon it for the first time this week. I am also from Rhode Island (Richmond). I have a web site (still in it’s infancy) about collecting metal & hard rock from 1980-1990. If you get a chance check it out: playitloudforever.wordpress.com

Hiya – some very worthy additions to your collection would be a couple of albums by the Aussie 70’s band Buffalo. They released 5 albums from ’72-’77, the best two being “Volcanic Rock” & “Only Want You For Your Body”. Checkit. Cheers.

first off “GO STEELER’S” Most of the bands you guys are naming are almost all hair bands.What about Motorhead,Megadeath,3 inches of Blood, 5 FINGER DEATH PUNCH.KILLSWITCH ENGAGED,IN THIS MOMENT,and my fav. EXODUS & OVERKILL

Your top 10 is ROCKING! I remember WASP playing The Troubadour in Hollywood back in the day and all the hype! Then watching them go onto Mega Metal Annihilation..No words for KISS and Maiden. Simply “The Shit”! Thanks for a cool page and taking the time to keep it all together. If you have a chance come have a look at my pages..ROCK!!

Hey hows it going, I came across your site searching for metal blogs. I just started one myself http://metalmick.blogspot.com/. I was pleased to see that you are from Rhode Island, I am from Warwick, and we have the same music tastes. I was also at the Schenker show at Showcase live in Foxboro. I read your review and I agree totally. It was a dream come true for me to see Schenker, and hope I can see him again. Anyways great site Keep up the good work.

hey my friends have this band called Scratch the floor ( http://www.facebook.com/ScratchTheFloor ) We are from small country(Georgia). I was wondering if you can listen to their music and say what future you see in them. thank you!
